About
Treasure Beach is the name given to a stretch of five Jamaican coves and their associated settlements: Ft Charles, Billy's Bay, Frenchman's Bay, Calabash Bay and Great (Pedro) Bay.
Treasure Beach is known as the home of Community Tourism and is devoid of any all-inclusive establishments. Density restrictions don't allow for large hotels and the beaches are all public.
The region is isolated from the main tourist areas and the minor roads connecting with the main highway at Black River or Santa Cruz tend to suffer damage in heavy rain, but are usually passable with care. The roads have been rehabilitated and are now better than in previous years. There are numerous small hotels and guest houses serving tourists seeking a very quiet seaside location.
Hurricane Beryl hit the villages on July 3, 2024 and caused a great deal of damage to the area.
